ASSEMBLYINSTRUCTIONS
Engaging the Drop Weight Bar Stop
The stringing machine is shipped with the drop weight bar in the horizontal position. To prevent racquet damage during stringing, the bar stop must be engaged.
Remove the machine base from the shipping carton being careful to avoid lifting by the plastic cover.
Hold the drop weight bar in the vertical position as shown while turning the stop screw clockwise with the supplied 5mm hex wrench.
Installing the Turntable
The turntable is located under the foam packing in the bottom of the shipping carton.
Insert the center post of the turntable into the bushing of the stringing machine base.
Installing the Frame Support Posts
The GAMMA 600 support post assemblies are precision aligned at the factory and are marked for proper installation on the turntable.
Install the support post with the dot on its base to an identical dot on the turntable. Align the threaded hole in the bottom of the frame support post with the slot in the turntable. Screw the lever lock bolt with washer into the bottom of the support post and tighten gently.Position the washer the rounded side toward the turntable.
Repeat procedure on the opposite side of the turntable

MOUNTINGTHEFRAME
Adjusting the Frame Support Posts
Place the racquet frame over the center posts and onto the frame support. Loosen the lever lock bolt on one support post. Slide the post outward until the center support of the racquet support slide is positioned near the inside surface of the racquet frame. Securely tighten the lever lock bolt.
Adjust the opposite post using the same procedure.
Caution: To avoid racquet damage, the center posts should not contact the racquet prior to fixing the support posts.
Adjusting the Frame Shoulder Supports
Being sure the shoulder supports are free to swivel in thier mountings, simultaneously rotate the shoulder support adjustment knobs clockwise until both shoulder supports gently and squarely contact the frame.
Tighten the Frame Support Slides at the head and throat of the racquet until they gently contact the frame between the two center main string grommets.
Securing the Frame
Lock the shoulder supports in position by turning the knob at the base clockwise.
Repeat the adjustment procedure for the remaining support post.
Re-tighten all of the frame supports in the same order as before.
Do not overtighten any of the supports as racquet damage may occur.
The supports should be tightened to the point where the racquet frame will not move in the mounting system when the handle is grasped and attempts are made to move it. Should any
supports lose contact with the frame while stringing, they should be re-tightened.
